I don't know what's going on I just remounted a filesystem to test (slightly
modified output, but with the important stuff intact):
root@ans darron]# df -h
/dev/sda6 290M 141M 135M 51% /web
[root@ans darron]# cd /web
[root@ans /web]# touch file
[root@ans /web]# ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jul 14 16:38 file
[root@ans /web]# mount -o remount,ro /web
[root@ans /web]# touch file2
touch: file2: Read-only file system
[root@ans /web]# mount -o remount,rw /web
[root@ans /web]# touch file2
[root@ans /web]# ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jul 14 16:38 file
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jul 14 16:39 file2
It seems to work here....that's all I had to do to get it working.
Maybe you have another filesystem mounted that's read only.
